24/900 = ≈2.67%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 24/900 might show up when 24 items in a group of 900 have a certain feature, such as defective products in a shipment or students selected from a large school. That is about 2.67%, so it represents a small share of the whole.
To picture it quickly, imagine 100 equal spots with only about 3 of them shaded. You can also think of it as roughly 2 or 3 out of every 100, which makes the size easier to estimate.
A common mistake is to think 24/900 is close to 24% because of the 24 in the numerator. The denominator matters just as much: a large total makes the fraction much smaller than the top number might first suggest.
